Quantitative theory of diffraction by cylindrical scroll nanotubes.

Published in: Acta crystallographica. Section A, Foundations and advances (2018)

A quantitative theory of Fraunhofer diffraction by right- and left-handed multiwalled cylindrical scroll nanotubes is developed on the basis of the kinematical approach. The proposed theory is mainly dedicated to structural studies of individual nanotubes by the selected-area electron diffraction technique. Strong and diffuse reflections of the scroll nanotube were studied and explicit formulas that govern relations between the direct and reciprocal lattice of the scroll nanotube are achieved.
